Mother and child worship was the basis of the ancient pagan religions. In the various religions of the world, the same system of worship was perpetuated under different names. 

Mary also received her name (queen of may or queen of heaven) in catholicism through this pagan practice that adapted it’s rituals from Babylon (Nimrod). 

In Egypt , the mother and child were worshiped as Isis and Osiris or Horus, in India as Isi and Iswara, in China and Japan as the mother goddess Shing-moo with child, in Greece as Ceres or Irene and Plutus, in Rome as Fortuna and Jupitor-puer, or Venus and Adurnis, and in Scandinavia as Frigga and Balder.

The mother and child were worshiped in Babylon as Ishtar and Tammuz, and in Phoenicia, as Ashtoreth and Baal. Moreover, the child was worshiped as both husband and son of the mother goddess. On most of the paga calendars, the mother and child became a celebration and season in time that honors the attributes of goddess (mother) who breast feeds her child.  

The sin of eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which took place in the garden of Eden was perpetuated and nurtured into human life through the spiritual ideology or metaphor of mother and child.

The mother being the goddess who breast feeds her child (future leader) with the milk of immorality, the gentile woman who teaches her children to rebel against the God of Israel.
